There is a reason PB FA's and Pilots boycott the Chrismas social event, and hold there own the day before. That has been going on for years. It speaks volumes when this segment of the workforce turns down free drinks!
It's often because many of us are working during the Christmas function, or we're more comfortable siting around a BBQ and have a few quiet ones rather than getting tarted up and headin into town....
Yeah.. some of us are gettin old....
Yes.. PB has it's problems too
